Karađorđe Stadium (Serbian:Стадион Карађорђе,Stadion Karađorđe) is amulti-purpose stadium inNovi Sad,Serbia. It is currently used mostly forfootball matches and is the home ground ofFK Vojvodina. The stadium is one of the most modern stadiums in Serbia and has one of the best pitches in the country. The stadium has a total of 14,853seats after new renovations were made in 2013. The stadium is also the home ground for the Serbian U-21 football team.
In late May 2007, the stadium was the site ofSiniša Mihajlović's testimonial match. In 2009, the stadium was given a new athletic track, the southeast stand and a modern Philips scoreboard. After the reconstruction in 2009, it was the venue of the2009 European Athletics Junior Championships and the2011 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. In 2011, FK Vojvodina installed floodlights with strength of 1,400 lux. The largest attendance was on 1 March 1967 when Vojvodina played against Scottish sideCeltic in the1966–67 European Cup quarter-final.[2] There were about 30,000 spectators.[2]
Formerly, it was known as theVojvodina Stadium (Serbian:Стадион Војводине,Stadion Vojvodine) orCity Stadium (Serbian: Градски стадион,Gradski stadion). In 2007, the stadium was renamed to Karađorđe Stadium afterKarađorđe "Black George", the leader of theFirst Serbian uprising. However, Karađorđe Stadium was in fact the older and original name of the stadium that was used from its foundation in 1924 until the end of theSecond World War.[3]
In early 2012, the executive board announced further reconstructions of the Karađorđe stadium. Original plans included the construction of a new south stand, the reconstruction of the eastern and southwest stand. Finally, in May 2013, as a result ofUEFA requirements for obtaining a license forUEFA Europa League participation, the city of Novi Sad agreed to an upgrade of the stadium that will take place through June 2013 in time for FK Vojvodina to host Europa League qualifying matches.[4]
